She discusses the connection between supervision, professional development, and teacher evaluation; formal and informal classroom observations; preobservation and postobservation conferences; and data collection instruments. This edition has more on confronting marginal teaching; teacher evaluation related to teacher quality, Race to the Top, and value-added issues; working with the administrative team to widen the sphere of instructional support; and the relationship between professional learning and teacher evaluation focusing on the classroom evaluation.
